Redstone, for the first time ever, missed the Viacom annual meeting in March. Vanity Fair reports there are rumors he can no longer speak and is being fed through a tube — though Holland told the magazine “he’s very sharp.”

Sumner’s daughter, Shari, is expected to inherit the bulk of Redstone’s $6.3 billion fortune and control of the two companies.

But Holland, 44, is in control now of who sees and talks to Redstone.

Sumner’s ex-girlfriend Manuela Herzer, 50, who is close with him and Holland, is also expected to get a bequest.

Industry gossip is that both women have already each been given $50-to-100 million by Redstone.
